Minty Fresh Breath for Kissing Shamrocks and Leprechauns!!Minty Fresh Breath for Kissing Shamrocks and Leprechauns!!![]() St Patrick’s Day, on March 17, is a cultural and religious Irish holiday to commemorate Saint Patrick, one of Ireland’s patron saints, and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Traditionally, it was believed shamrock (a three leafed white clover) was used by St Patrick to illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity. Although this is likely to be false, the shamrock became a national symbol for Ireland and is one of the most popular symbols associated with St Patrick’s Day. If you’re going to be kissing leprechauns or shamrocks this St Patrick’s Day, freshen your breath with a mint or tea tree oil gargle. Halitosis (bad breath) affects an estimated 25 per cent of people. It is usually caused by bacteria on the tongue – there are more than 600 types of bacteria in the average mouth and some of these bacteria can produce bad smelling compounds.
If you suffer from halitosis, try the following:
1. Gently clean your tongue with a toothbrush or a tongue scraper twice daily. 2. Eat a healthy breakfast with rough foods which may help clean the back of your tongue. 3. Chew sugar-free gum. This will help produce saliva and prevent the build up of bacteria. 4. Gargle before going to bed with a mouthwash – see our natural mint and tea tree oil gargles below. 5. Maintain proper oral hygiene – remember to brush your teeth twice daily, floss and see your dentist periodically. Mint Mouthwash
